Thought Of The Day
Reach For Your Star.
Do not take anything as being forever
because forever
is only as long as today.
Know that the people who are richest
are not those who have the most,
but those who need the least.
We are at our strongest
when life is at its worst,
and at our weakest
when life no longer offers a challenge.
It is wiser not to expect
but to hope,
for in expecting you ask for disappointment,
whereas in hoping you invite surprise.
Unhappiness doesn't come
from not having something that you want,
but from the lack of something inside that you need.
There are things to hold on too,
and things to let go,
and letting go doesn't mean you lose,
but that you acquire that which has been waiting
around the corner.
Most of all,
remember to use your dreams
as a way of knowing yourself better,
and as inspiration
to reach for your star.......
Jukebox Promotions - Comes to Area Disco - Filton Centre
Every Saturday from 20th August, we will be promoting some great Cabaret dance events at this venue. They will feature some fabulous cabaret acts and of course, plenty of dancing!! We will soon open up a new page on this site to give details etc but please come along if you love to go out to a dance (not easy to do here in Spain unless you go to a specific feature event like Line Dancing etc)! You can go to a bar and hear music, to a restaurant and hear music, to a show and listen (maybe dance a bit) but where do you go when you want to have a good nights dancing and entertainment like we used to in the Clubs years ago? Well, this is it guys!!
The AREA venue is underground at The Filton Center and its simply a great place to have a dance night and good cabaret. The owner will be providing FREE table food for the first few events and there is a great bar with good prices. The events will be from 8-30pm until 11-30pm and the ticket / entry price will be just 5 Euros.
There will be a competition to raise funds for Help at Home (Costa Blanca)
The first cabaret dance on Saturday 20th August will feature Jukebox Legends and the fabulous “best Elvis sound around” cabaret ELVIS2000. It’s an appropriate time as the 16th August is the 34th anniversary of the day Elvis died in 1977. So, we will be celebrating the life and songs of the King at this event. If you haven’t seen Elvis 2000 before then you will certainly not want to miss the best Elvis sound you will hear and if you have, you will know how great it is and want to come again!

Los Balcones
The urbanisation of Los Balcones, is built on the slopes of the "Saline De Torrevieja". This salt lake is a "Parc Natural", a protected wildlife area. The algae in the water gives the lake a pinkish tinge at certain times of the year.
Judging by the well tended gardens of the houses, and its tree lined roads, Los Balcones is a pleasant, mature urbanisation.
The CV-95 route runs through Los Balcones, this route links the N332 coast road with the AP37 motorway, and is the direct road from Torrevieja to San Miguel, and Orihuela.

Los Balcones Life
Last night at the Old Tower Cyber Pub, there was an amazing new sound,
Kevin is putting together a band with Singer, 3 Guitarists, Drummer and Percussion.
They were just jamming but coming from a musical back ground myself, I could tell that they were really coming together.
As the weeks go by and the more they rehearse, and in September after bringing in another Singer, we can look forward to this bands performances with exitment.
We now have Area Disco who have moved from Punta Prima to downstairs in the Filton Centre, with a new sound system fitted, its going to be the place to hang out, listen and enjoy many nights of entertainment.
So now we have Los Balcones on the entertainment map, lets keep it there and support our local talent.
I am very exited about the future of our Filton Centre, Los Balcones.
